Membership Info

What is the annual membership investment?

$500 a year + HST = $565.00

Are there corporate memberships?

No, just individual, but there is no limit to the number that may join from each company.

What am I charged if I join mid-year?

Your membership will be pro-rated based on the month you join.

When does the membership year end?

Memberships run September 1st to August 31st. 


 I just wanted to reach out to say thank you. Thank you for the insights, the knowledge and the direction. 

I have been working on the service side of benefits for 4-5 years now and have finally decided to start with Group benefits consulting. While continuously seeking to improve my skill set and search for the answers to all things benefits, I stumbled upon Jason Watt’s “Nerding out on group benefits” which quickly led me to your book “Selling Benefits”.

What a wonderful journey it has been so far.  Looking forward to attending my first վ conference in November. 


All the best,
Ellen Medeiros


What if I want to cancel my membership?

You may cancel at anytime but there are no refunds.

Can I have someone take over my membership?

You may assign someone else to your membership no more than once per year (off for sick leave, mat leave, hiatus...)

Can I share my membership credentials?

If you have an assistant helping with your membership, sure. If you have others in your office that want to access the benefits, they must become members themselves.

Do you offer membership "deals"?

No, but if you are new to the industry, just licensed or facing an economic hardship, please reach out and we'll try and help.

What if I have more questions?
